Figured this would be highly interesting given how outdated the preseason list is at this point and with the addition of the 2021 draft class:

1. Colson Montgomery, SS
2. Yoelqui Cespedes, OF
3. Wes Kath, 3B
4. Norge Vera, RHP
5. Andrew Dalquist, RHP
6. Jared Kelley, RHP
7. Matthew Thompson, RHP
8. Gavin Sheets, 1B/OF
9. Jake Burger, 3B
10. Jose Rodriguez, SS
11. Sean Burke, RHP
12. Jimmy Lambert, RHP
13. Jonathan Stiever, RHP
14. Bryan Ramos, 3B
15. Yolbert Sanchez, 2B
16. Lenyn Sosa, SS
17. Romy Gonzalez, SS
18. Micker Adolfo, OF
19. Luis Gonzalez, OF
20. Blake Rutherford, OF
21. Jason Bilous, RHP
22. Tanner McDougal, RHP
23. Christian Mena, RHP
24. Konner Pilkington, LHP
25. Bailey Horn, LHP
26. McKinley Moore, RHP
27. Jefferson Mendoza, C
28. Wilber Sanchez, SS
29. Misael Gonzalez, OF
30. Luke Shilling, RHP

I’ll go into more detail later, but there are definitely some pretty big snubs here IMO.

Man that list is YOUNG.

Dalquist over Kelley and Thompson is pretty surprising, also we have a dearth of LHP in the system.

So the young position players are all considered low ceiling still is my takeaway.

It’s young and there a ton of semi-interesting guys not on it:

• Luis Mieses, OF
• Chase Krogman, OF
• Cabera Weaver, OF
• Benjamin Bailey, OF
• James Beard, OF
• Bryce Bush, OF
• Cameron Butler, OF
• DJ Gladney, 3B
• Harvin Mendoza, 1B
• Ronaldo Guzman, LHP

And that’s just off the top of my head.  I’m sure there other guys I’m missing, but High A & Low A should both be filled with interesting, young prospects next year.

@bmags - No Carlos Perez!

Good Lord there's alot of names left off! Chase Krogman is going to be a major league outfielder. But not even to make the list?! Same with Perez. Elijah Tatis maybe isn't as good as touted?  It does make me wonder what BA thinks of the Whitesox system?  In fact, I've wondered this for 3 or 4 years. I believe there's talent, raw talent. Young talent as the list reflects. But talent nonetheless. Maybe BA doesn't value or trust our player development over the years? - and rightly so. Doesnt trust that we'll be able to pull some of the talent out of these young kids. As a result, maybe not get the recognition as other organizations. But I do think we've turned a corner there too in PD under Getz.

I do trust BA more than mlb pipeline or even FG with their evaluations.  Of course futuresox is the best. 

Just wondering 

Shouldn't Romy Gonzalez be on that list, as well?  I'm sorry, I missed it. He is listed at #17.
